The green yard in the house today has given way to the balcony in the apartment. The small balconies of modern houses are a new generation of old porches that bring fresh light and air to the house and establish a connection between indoor and outdoor space. The design of the balcony in the apartment, as a space between outside and inside the house, is important from two aspects, combining with the interior architecture as well as the element influencing the urban appearance.

The balcony of Dr. Afrashi’s house is a reconstruction project. The total area of ​​the balcony is 40 meters, of which about ten meters is occupied by a corridor 110 cm wide. Due to the interest of Iranians in the yard for a long time, which was manifested with two elements of greenery and water, in designing the balcony of Dr. Afrashi’s house, an attempt was made to use these elements to create a sense of life. In such a way that there are two facing walls that have been formed according to the elements of nature, one of these walls is decorated with wooden boxes and natural plants and the other is decorated with stone frames and running water.

It is as if the cold and the warmth of nature are facing each other. The balcony living room is designed next to the warm wall and under the pavilion with a wooden roof. Four single chairs and a long wooden bench are placed in the space so that more people can be gathered in this limited space. On both sides of the pavilion, two small green gardens have been designed so that the walls of the pavilion are cleverly designed. Hidden lights with irregular angles in different directions is another design point that in addition to showing the space more open, makes the night fresh and pleasant.
